Who thumbs down these videos?!? You’re teaching people how to save lives. Thanks, Skinny Medic!!! 👊🏼

In case you’re watching in 2022, there are a few things that have changed from the time this video was uploaded to today. Firstly, at 2:25 ish he talks about putting your knee on the groin to stop bleeding. This isn’t really being done anymore because of pelvic fracture, by putting your knee on the pelvis like that, you could cause more damage or bleeding if a pelvic fracture was present. If you know the patient wasn’t in a accident with blunt force or shot in that area then you could use your knee(injuries like stabs or lacerations are what you’d do this for). It’s also important to place your knee on the inner thigh since thats where the blood vessels are located, this does cause a lot of pain and might increase heart rate which will increase bleeding, it’s also might cause the patient to move and cause more damage trying to stop you which might make it harder to help and consume time so it’s best to only use this method if you have no medical supplies and if you know there is no pelvic injury. Same applies with the shoulder. Next is the NPA, if you have the training for it, then you should use it, however if you don’t have one or know how to use one, the you should try and learn the recovery position which will do the job of the NPA. If you decide to get an NPA and training, it’s vital that you get the correct size, there isn’t a one size fits all and everyone is different so it’s important to size it up and cut it if you need to because you can definitely do more harm than good if you use an incorrect size.

What you're doing here is beyond awesome. I was surprised on how little my family and friends knew about Medical Aid.Gifted them all trauma kits like this and I make sure to forward all these videos to them just incase it's me they need to help one day.

Great job on covering the basic major bleeding procedures in just a few minutes.

That finger work packing gauze was very impressive and smooth. Goes to show how important training, practice, and experience is. Thanks for teaching and making readily available important lessons in these crazy times.

For those watching: Please note that, except in extreme circumstances, head trauma counter-indicates the use of an NPA. Otherwise it is preferably to an OPA because, as he mentions, the NPA avoids the gag reflex. OPA's may trigger the gag reflex. NPA is preferred, OPA if there is a head trauma or you don't have an appropriate size NPA, if they gag while attempting OPA or OPA isn't available, Two Person CPR with a CE Jaw Thrust. (All these techniques can be found on KZfaq as training reference for EMT-B National Certification. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE PLEASE LEVE THESE TECHNIQUES TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL OR SEEK TRAINING TO BECOME QUALIFIED PERSONNEL! Notably, if you become a volunteer EMT with a volly fire department, you can often get Tax breaks/etc as well as increasing the number of trained first responders in your community!)

"First thing, do a head to toe quick check. My head is gone.". I'm no EMT, but that's bad, right? LOL!!! :-D

Thank you for opening the package and showing how to use what's inside. AWESOME video!

My combat medics said to never put a knee in their groin. If they got shot in the leg or whatever happened the bones could be weak and putting a knee on them could brake those bones and make it worse. Additionally you're probably not going to hit his artery anyways, so it's accomplishing nothing while risking A LOT.

This channel is INVALUABLE. You are helping out a lot of folks, SkinnyMedic; on both sides of the divide. Thank you for sharing, and for igniting the interest and the practice. INVALUABLE.

Great video. I'm an EFR instructor for many years and really appreciate you sharing your expertise on the use of an IFAK. I picked up some knowledge here and I'm sure many of your viewers did as well. Please do more of this type of instructional videos. They would be invaluable to those of us who can't travel to your classes. Thank you and please keep em coming.

Great tips for those that I’ve never seen this type of training. Unfortunately you applied the Israeli bandage incorrectly. The clip will always go over the wound site which you showed proper placement. Once you wrap it around one time, the running end is inserted in the clip. It will then be PULLED BACK to allow for tighter compression then wrapping the remaining running end the OPPOSITE direction.Then you clip the top and bottom to the bandage. 🤙🏼

Thank you for the videos that you do. Citizens are more likely to be a first responder in accidents involving cars and other types of traumas not involving gunfire. Your videos show how much more training I need, thank you.May God always watch over you and bless you with continued success.

As others have said. These supplies Aren't Cheap. THANKS for Opening Them and demonstrating application.👍👍👍

this is probably the best one I've found that covers everything in one.

thank you for instructions. I like to keep up on first aid techniques for myself and famliy. Great demo.

Recently became an EMT-B, I found your videos helpful for reviewing skills, thanks for the help!!

Good quick instruction. A little bit of a refresher/reminder is always welcome. Thank you for the video

I subscribed because thank you for opening these med packs to show us. Your videos may save somebody’s life!

Great video! I had already picked up everything demonstrated in the video, so was very lucky to come across something that went through all the stuff I have!

Great tutorial and I appreciate you having a store so we can buy exactly what was used 👍

Thank you for this! I hope I never need to use this for myself or anyone I love, but the knowledge is so helpful.

I second that comment from 6 years ago - thanks again for demonstrating the use of the expensive equipment!

I was a little scared of the whole ifak system at first but seeing it demonstrated makes me feel more comfortable with the system

Thank you for this video. Will save lives!!

An excellent MARCH demo, thank you!

Thank you Skinny. Here for a refresher.

Awesome explanation! Thank you for sharing your experience and medical supplies.

Thanks again. Great as usual. I just got an email from NAR about the national Stop the Bleed campaign - you have been way ahead of them, teaching the public what they, only now, are saying we should all be trained in. It's not just for us first aid weirdos anymore, lol. Wonderful service you give.

thanks bro , for opening supplies and teaching briefly.

This was great, very easy to understand, I still want more training in person, how ever this is a great starter. Thank you!

Thank you for actually using the supplies even if it’s expensive.

Excellent video as always.

Thanks!

Hey man thanks for actually demonstrating with the products! I know they aren't cheap. Much appreciated!

I just got a March Ifak resupply kit with this in there, thanks for the extremely helpful video. On a side note, I was able to get Narcan from a local methadone clinic and added that to my kit

Very helpful video, i just put together a personal trauma kit for edc and now i know how to use it!

Wow. This was an amazing video. You're a great teacher; thanks Skinny

Only two words: Very useful!!! Thank you!!

Know this video is a few years old but i found it very educational as we dont have civilian courses that teach this. I also realise by watching it it doesnt make me an expert, but at least if Im out hunting in the back blocks it gives me an idea if the worst happens. Thanks again. Stu NZ

Very well done, Great teaching delivery.

Just got your civilian IFAK. This video is amazing. Thank you!!

This was extremely helpful thank you!😊

just got to say great job you are now my go to. I love what your doing keep it up and i'm get your pack it is the best

Your EDC Trauma kit is pretty unique for a commercially available kit. I haven’t seen anything else as cost effective for this purpose!

Excellent detail!

Wow lot of good info will have to repeat and practice and get training..thanks for all you do!

In the Army they taught us to apply pressure to the hip region using our knee to control bleeding while we prep the TQT. I never agreed with the method because it hurts like a royal SOB even just training without an actual gunshot wound and has the potential to cause further injury. I always preferred to keep my tqt's prepped for a fast application to avoid having to cause the casualty any unnecessary pain. The Army later changed the method to not using the knee pressure because if the individual has a shattered pelvis you could further harm them. Moral of the story is prep your equipment, train with it to find friction points in your set up and adjust accordingly, because if someone is bleeding severely you have mere minutes to find the source and stop it. Great video though, these interventions are simple, yet highly effective ones we should all be familiar with.

Great video! Thank you so much!

BEST. VIDEO. EVER. Sir, you are magnificent.

Thank you for this information.

Thank you so much for the great demo!

Thanks for the video. Great content. I learned a lot.

Great video and really educational, thanks.

Great information, exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully anyone I need to work on with an IFAK has a head. Thanks skinny.

"My head's gone" I don't think even Skinny Medic can bring that one back! LOL

I was always taught to do ABC. Airway before bleeding. (Airway -A, Bleeding -B, Circulation - C.)

Great information and demonstration. Thanks young man God Bless (us all)

This is very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks, your KZfaq videos are super helpful.

This channel is so great!

The best things are the things You know how to use.Train how to use what You carry! Thank you for your vids they very helpful, although I hope I never have to use my CAT and the other things

Thanks much. Good presentation

Great video learned a lot thank you Skinny

Fantastic Job!! Thanks for your time!

Thank you for these videos!!

Invaluable info. Will buy all this from you. I really need to take some med classes as well.

Great video thank you so much.

Awesome video discovered your channel last night ive been binge watching since, now to find a class here in TEXAS.

Very informative, thanks!

great video. exactly what i was looking for.

I had always paired a single vented occlusive dressing with a non vented one for the reason you stated. It also saves you a few bucks if you are putting more than one set in your kit or making more than one kit.

Very useful and excellent advice SkinnyMedic, thank you for all you do.

Another great one and very useful thank you

Thanks SkinnyMedic!

What a great video! Thank you.

Never have I been exposed to this kind of First Aid but I am learning. Thanks.

Great video...personally I was trained to place the TQ as high on the extremity as possible because there may be multiple holes and the high placement, although cuts off flow to the entire limb, it removes the possibility of having missed a hole...but I also understand that context for different organizations may dictate this practice as well...I know as a former direct care medical professional, tourniquets used to be a no go and combat casualty care in the Army, a tourniquet is always a go

This is incredible, life saving information. Thank you so much.

Excellent! Thanks for demonstrating all these items. With your permission I would like to use this video at a Boy Scout meeting to train the Scouts. I took a fall on an Scout hike and the Scouts knowledge of splints and improvised walking crutch allowed me to walk a mile out of the woods to a waiting ambulance.

Great job.

Thanx for taking the time to educate. It would be helpful to see your credentials in the description area above (e.g. EMT, Paramedic, etc) for new viewers like myself.

Good video....nice job. Thanks.

Thank you for showing how instead of what you have in your pack. Big thumbs up.

Thanks, good video man!

Thanks for sharing this! I’d like to request a similar video for car accidents - IFAK contents and procedures, it would be great for us in the city who want to help out.

Great video! A lot of instruction! Thanks!

Outstanding video man

Great video! Not going to lie, I was shocked when you pronounced "Israeli" correctly.

Someone else once recommended getting a class from the local fire dept.. If one near you does offer this you can buy two of everything and have them teach you how to use it. Then you still have your second one because to really learn how to use it you will likely burn through your first set.

Skinny medic for president!!!!!!

Many thanks to Skinny Medic from Ukraine for the video. Watched it several times before my training in 2024!

Thank you for this video!🙏

Very informative 13 minutes. Thank you

If the head's gone, don't worry about that. That's just a minor detail. Haha! Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Seriously though, I really appreciate SkinnyMedic's videos. Hope to continue seeing more informative videos like this.

awesome video. thank you!

Thanks for the great video.

Very useful video
